Through the citizen-led CARES (Citizens Advancing Responsible Emergency Services) program community members have had an opportunity to learn more about all aspects of the fire and emergency rescue service and assist in creating a long-range plan for CFPD.
Through a series of CARES meetings, participants heard an informational presentation, and then provided feedback that was used to formulate the recommendations for the long-range plan. These recommendations were presented to the CFPD Board of Directors in December.
A team of community members including Co-Chairs Jason Duncan and Kim King and Community Leaders Cathy Elsea, Will Klein and Steve Mahler are leading the CARES effort.
